There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with São Paulo leading Avaí by 26 points.

São Paulo form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie A, São Paulo, who have the fewest conceded goals (17) in Serie A, have managed 6 wins, 6 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 13 games. Hopes of three in a row are alive for São Paulo after consecutive victories at their own ground.

In their previous game, the manager Fernando Diniz led his São Paulo to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Cruzeiro. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Morumbí. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Corinthians in a game that was won 1-0.

The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for São Paulo home games with this odds we find six games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. Looking at the victories, 2 matches were won by at least two goals.

The São Paulo fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 13 matches. São Paulo are not conceding a lot of goals here at Morumbí in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 8 from 13 matches.

Avaí form and stats

Avaí, who have the fewest scored goals (13) in Serie A, have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 2-1-10 (13 played). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Evando, the Avaí manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie A home defeat versus Internacional with 0-2 on the scoreboard. A 0-1 defeat away at Ceara before that.

Avaí goalkeeper Vladimir had a great day against Internacional, but despite making 8 saves the loss could not be avoided.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Avaí played away with similar odds. This revealed two games. The visitors overcame the odds to win 0 times, 0 were draws and the home team won as expected 2 times.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Avaí as they have only managed to score 7 times from 13 away games in the league. Avaí have conceded 24 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Avaí - São Paulo 0-0. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): São Paulo won 4 games, 4 matches ended with a draw and Avaí has 2 wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 3 / 7
